Quasi-homogeneous singularities of projective hypersurfaces and Jacobian syzygies

Abstract

We prove an unexpected general relation between the Jacobian syzygies of a projective hypersurface $V\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ with only isolated singularities and the nature of its singularities. This allows to establish a new method for the identification of quasi-homogeneous hypersurface isolated singularities. The result gives an insight on how the geometry is reflected in the Jacobian syzygies and extends previous results of the first, second and last author for free and nearly free plane curves [1].
